	Cliveden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cliveden (pronounced CLIVV-d'n) is a mansion in Buckinghamshire, England overlooking the River Thames.
		It was about this time that the Astors had the house extended in the form of a 'horseshoe' shaped wing, to provide extra bedrooms for their large house-parties.
		The house became the centre of a scandal once more in 1961 when a chance meeting at a party there between the cabinet minister John Profumo and a showgirl Christine Keeler led to a brief romantic affair between them in the swimming pool.
